At 18, You Shouldn’t Still Be Living with Your Parents” — Grace Ofure Sparks Debate Online

“Let a Rich Home Come From You” — Grace Ofure Urges Youths
In her words, Grace Ofure said:
“If you’re 18 years old, you’re not supposed to stay in your parents’ house anymore. If you’re not from a rich home, let a rich home come from you.”
She explained that her statement was not about neglecting family, but about encouraging young people to break generational limits and start building their own success stories rather than waiting for parental support.
Mixed Reactions Trail Her Statement
The comments quickly went viral, sparking heated debate across social media. While many Nigerians applauded her boldness, financial discipline, and success-driven mindset, others criticized the statement as unrealistic, citing Nigeria’s harsh economy and limited job opportunities for youths.
Despite the backlash, Grace Ofure stood her ground, insisting that vision, discipline, and independence are the real foundations of wealth — not comfort or dependence.
Her remarks have since reignited national conversations about parenting, youth empowerment, and what it truly means to be “grown” in today’s Nigeria.
